Princeton Dante ProjectThe purpose of this project is to produce an annotated electronic text of Dante's Comedy for instructional and scholarly use. After three years of thought and discussion and the production of a working CD-ROM prototype in June of 1996, in September of 1999 we made available an electronic text of the first cantica of the three-part Comedy. It included the text of the poem in both Italian and English, an Italian voice recording of the poem, the Doré and Nattini illustrations for the Inferno, and historical, philological, visual, and interpretive footnotes. It also included access to the Dartmouth Dante Project (an on-line database of Dante's commentators, from the 1320s to the present), as well as to other Dantean resources on the Web.
